Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

[McDad]

What insurance do they issue you on Mars?

FYI: I can easily provide you with a lengthy list of respected colleagues that will tell you that the cloth mask crap is utterly ridiculous.

Only germaine if they ironically test positive for covid.

Are we still at Pandemic numbers? Are we still at Epedemic numbers? Are we at casedemic numbers? Asking for a friend.

 

[NurseGoodVol]

The PCR tests they mention, are those Belgian specific? Or is that global? Or at least the method behind it?

I think it would be a huge issue if we are using tests meant for research instead for diagnostics.

Uh I said this months ago.

I know hundreds that didn't get it and wore their masks everywhere.

Nobody believes you know 50 people much less hundreds .

Lockdowns cause drug overdoses. lol. It's been 2 hours and 10 minutes since I last saw my smack dealer.

Yea who could imagine that people locking themselves away from others, who already struggle with addiction issues, could struggle with this. Or they are already struggling with addiction and depression and have lost their job. No way shutdowns be problematic for them. All good.

Bingo. Social isolation is one of the leading risk factors for depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and suicide. And, we've actually mandated it.

Yes, it's well established that drug overdose increases are linked to lockdowns.

I was talking with my kids pediatrician at her last appointment. He was saying that he is seeing a huge spike kids moving in a very unhealthy direction with regards to their weight. He says it’s tied to lockdowns. BMI increases he would never expect to see from their previous appointment to now. Are you seeing that?

tell me again why schools are closed in some places

Study: Less than 1 percent of teachers, students infected since schools reopened

Sadly, yes, on a regular basis. I had a 14 year old this week who had gained 60 pounds since March, to over 300#. Evaluating for type 2 diabetes. His guardians have been scared to let him outside to walk. He's doing "virtual school."
I've had a number of other patients that I've been working with for years on diet and exercise whose BMI has jumped significantly since lockdowns. Diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease are much more dangerous for young people than CV19.

Does the cdc have a shred of credibility at this point?

The administration has done a great job of tearing it down, that’s for sure.

I’ve wondered since March when we were told to bring cloth masks to the OR “just in case we need them” if JCAHO will be taken seriously as they start marching back into hospitals and enforcing the same rules like nothing happened.

Well do it then. I would like to talk to your colleagues.

Over 300 schools nationwide reporting. Confirmed cases are 0.076% in students and 0.15% in teachers. So, that’s quite a bit “leas than 1%.”

And then the article experts then flip the narrative and say its up to individual school districts attitude toward risk whether they should open fully or not.

Are you just completely blind to the truth? Yes, mental health disorders, alcohol abuse, drug overdoses, and suicide have all skyrocketed.

I was just talking to a friend tonight who recently met with an area medical-practice CEO. He was told that every group in their large multispecialty corporation was down as much as 70% this year, other than their behavioral health clinics, which were actually much busier.

It's incredibly sad.

People are dying from covid. That doesn't seem to bother you so I highly doubt suicides and drug over doses even register with you except for a talking point. A talking point that fails to mention that all of those thing have been going up for decades. You want to attribute all those problems on the lockdowns but the killer disease itself you screech Herd immunity the hard way. I will tell you this, most of the mentally ill cite fear of dying from the virus as triggers.

You're incredibly pathetic with your politics. Save the mentally ill drug addicts and alcoholics but don't even try to protect the vulnerable population.

Covid is the 3 leading cause of death in the United states. It's not suicide, Drug abuse, anxiety, depression or social isolation. You're not able to see the forest for the marginalized trees. The people most socially isolated are the ones at a higher risk level for covid death.

link it if you got it.

I love seeing you post, because in all likelihood you're an overweight basement gremlin rolling in here, ignoring every post with data, yelling with emotions, and trying to argue with an actual medical doctor that you're right.

It's hilarious!

 

[kiddiedoc]

don't even try to protect the vulnerable population.

Yeah, buddy, that's exactly what I've been saying from the beginning. Give me a break.

 

[kiddiedoc]

Well do it then. I would like to talk to your colleagues.

They don't make house calls, so it will be impossible for you to see them. Some I am in frequent contact with include several pediatricians, 2 ER docs, an immunologist, ENT, Pediatric surgeon, hospitalist, three surgical subspecialties, and anesthesia.

"Lockdowns" are problematic for people with SUD.

So, you can't provide a list? OK, I didn't expect you could but you're the one that said it.

Like me, he probably spends a lot of his day doing drug/alcohol/tobacco-avoidance counseling, family evaluations, and mental health screens. Oh, and don't get me started on physical health/obesity/metabolic syndrome care.

Jebus you are an idiot . Before you mods delete it , I’m not saying he’s stupid .. I’m using the Archaic definition.. a person with low intelligence. So technically I’m not name calling

My guess is behind a desk , In a government union , pushing lots of paper around while wearing a mask all day .
